You mean like the Police who couldn't find anything, and the same papers that apparently had heard the same rumours and had tried investigations but couldn't find anything?

According to Private Eye they have been warning about Saville and the LibDem MP since the 70's. They do give the ref for their claim. The Police though have failed and failed again the last 50 years in the sex abuse. newspaper phone hacking and West Midlands Serious Crime squad to name a few.

At the end of the day though, what could they do about it? Their only options would be to either stop advertising their cars in protest or advertise on smaller channels with less viewers, both of which would be more damaging to themselves than the channel.

It'd work the other way, advert negotiation would then include money for adverts with an unofficial uplift amount should their new model recieve a very favourable review on the next episode. With that you enter the realms of having no faith in any sense of impartiality from the show.

That being said, Top Gear hasn't been in the business of serious reviews for many years so it shouldn't matter really :p
